Hello All:
It sounds like the people, Robinson / Robertson / Gabbard are my family too. My mother's maiden name is Robertson. Her father Al/Albert is the only son of Charlie & Mary/Polly (Gabbard) Robinson to use the last name Robertson. Papaw Al's four brothers used Robinson. My gr-grandma Polly is the daughter of Michael Jr. & Elizabeth (Cundiff) Gabbard. Charlie is the son of James R. & Margaret (Burgess) Robinson of Clay County, KY. Please feel free to e-mail me if you want to share family information.

: says on my grandfather's death
: certificate. I'm wanting to find
: somebody that can get a picture of
: cecil robitson's head stone. I'm in
: the army up here in Alaka right now,

: photo. I'm trying to gigure out the
: correct spelling of robinson/robertson
: since his records show three different
: one's. I met his sister a month ago,
: and she said it's spelled robinson,
: yet other relations and records show
: robertson, yet again his death
: certificate and my fathers birth
: certificate says RobiTson. kind of
: confusion.

: Which Hays/Hayes Cemetery are you
: asking
: about? There are at least three in or
: near Jackson. The largest one is on
: Wolverine, there's another on Highway
: 15 North, and still another on
: Quicksand Road (now called the Snowden
: Cemetery).
:
: There are many Hayses buried in the
: Jackson Cemetery and other cemeteries
: throughout Breathitt County. The Hays
: family was one of the earlier families
: to settle in the county, and there are
: many places which hold their remains.
: Also, most of the early Robinsons I
: know about are buried in the Snowden
: Cemetery.
